Had a great time this weekend dropping by Blane Chamber’s “office” at Paddle Surf Hawaii to check out a batch of new stand up paddle boards that arrived from San Diego. The trip was not just to talk story, but to pick up a new stand up paddle board for Hampig. She was super excited to finally be getting her own board after using hand me downs for a while. As always dropping by and talking to a shaper like Blane who is sooo stoked on stand up paddle surfing is a great learning experience. We talked about new shapes, ideas and we even got a lesson on how to put on deck padding. The secret is cutting a 4 inch strip down the middle to center the pad and then slowly peeling each side once you are set on the size and position. Tricks of the trade for sure!
